I loved my Aunt Helen and she reminded me the most of mom. She was very humble and matter of act. My heart goes out to my cousins as this is a difficult time for you all. She did a great job raising all you boys and loved each and everyone of you deeply. The tribute video was awesome! Love to all of you! Bridget Stell Caulder, Raleigh, NC
